It takes you on a trip around the world from start to finish: getting the bug, the planning, setting off, the highs, the lows, the friends, what happens when you come back \u2014 and the lessons and advice that come with all that.<\/p>\n<p>It features lots of stories I\u2019ve never told on this blog.<\/p>\n<p>I poured my heart and soul into this book. It\u2019s very personal. In fact, my friends have been really surprised at how personal I got (there&#8217;s going to be some awkward conversations after my family reads this book). <\/p>\n<p>But this is not all about me. <\/p>\n<p>This is about what I learned and how you can apply it to your travels. How you can get inspired, work through your fears, meet people, and become a better traveler. Unlike my previous books, this is not a \u201chow to guide\u201d but a collection of tips, advice, and stories from the road that can be used no matter where you are in the world or how long you&#8217;ll be away.<\/p>\n<p>This book gets to the heart of wanderlust and what extended travel around the world can teach us about life, ourselves, and our place in the world. (Or at least tries to.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>In this book, you\u2019ll find:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Crazy hostel stories<\/li>\n<li>What it\u2019s like to travel the world for ten years<\/li>\n<li>My philosophy on travel<\/li>\n<li>Lessons learned from the road<\/li>\n<li>How to cope with travel burnout<\/li>\n<li>How to make friends<\/li>\n<li>Inspirational stories and insights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want to know what it\u2019s like to travel the world and live out a backpack, this book will tell you. If you want to be inspired to travel and better understand how you can do it too, this book is for you.<\/p>\n<p>If you just want a good travel book to read on the beach, this book is for you. <\/p>\n<p><strong>You can get the book online at the following places:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2EA1fkt\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/nomadicmatt.s3.amazonaws.com\/2019\/amazon-buy.png\" alt=\"An amazon blue purchase button\" width=\"250\" height=\"81\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/ten-years-a-nomad-matthew-kepnes\/1128532452\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nomadicmatt.s3.amazonaws.com\/2019\/barnesnoble-buy.png\" alt=\"A blue Barnes and Noble purchase button\" width=\"250\" height=\"81\" \/><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(Or walk into your local independent bookstore and pick up a copy!)<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>5 Early Reviews of the Book<\/h3>\n<p>So what are people saying of the book? <\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;In his heartfelt explanation and exploration, Matt runs through just why he\u2019s been out there, backpacking the world for 10 years. By the end we\u2019ve definitely realized, like Matt, how important travel is and how getting out there, on the road, can make you, me and the world a better place. It\u2019s a great pity certain people at the very top of the world\u2019s power pyramid never had just a little taste of the nomadic experience.&#8221; &#8211; Tony Wheeler, founder of Lonely Planet<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Throughout his ruminations on how travel affected him, Kepnes interweaves his tales of friends, girlfriends, and great loves discovered among exotic backdrops and how starting a blog (nomadicmatt.com) about his adventures altered the way he traveled. His story is one of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the constant travel itch he had to scratch in order to become the man he was supposed to be. An entertaining, quick read by a man who did what many of us only dream about.&#8221; &#8211; Kirkus Book Reviews<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Inspirational&#8221; &#8211; Cheryl Strayed<\/em><\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2019\/10yearsanomad_review.jpg\" alt=\"10 Years a Nomad book review\" width=\"476\" height=\"290\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bz8usJHB-Ff\/\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;
